Deep Blue-Green Fluorite Cubes from Okorusu Mine, Namibia Lotus trilobites molted their outer shellsThis impressive Fluorite specimen features a dense cluster of sharply formed cubic crystals displaying rich blue green tones with subtle hints of purple visible in certain areas. Several prominent cubes dominate the specimen, creating a bold geometric appearance that immediately captures attention. The crystals exhibit excellent transparency around the edges while deeper sections appear darker, producing remarkable depth and contrast. Small remnants
